DNA and RNA

Question 1

DNA

Answer 1

DEOXYRIBOnucleic acid
stores genetic information
(info required for growth and development)

Question 2

RNA

Answer 2

RIBOnucleic acid

transfers genetic info from DNA to ribosomes (made from RNA and protein)

Question 3

structure

Answer 3

pentose sugar (SEE NAMES)
nitrogenous base
(ATCG DNA/AUCG RNA
phosphate group

Question 4

Nucleotides

Answer 4

form polynucleotides
join via condensation reaction forming phosphodiester bond
these bonds form sugar phosphate backbone

Question 5

DNA structure

Answer 5

two DNA polynucleotide strands joined by H-Bonds between bases
A=>T C=>G
2HB 3HB
antiparallel chains twist to form DNA double helix

Question 6

RNA structure

Answer 6

relatively short single polynucleotide chain
